It sounds pretty good. I think im gonna try this sometime.
I haven't yet, but I planted some hops root cuttings in the fall and hope to brew a bunch of beer this winter! wOOt.
Ive done it a few times, but I used a brewing kit my mom got me lol. It turned out really good, and I think it tasted better than any store bought beer.
Yea anytime you make something by yourself its always gonna taste better. Weather its vegetables, beer, or anything else that involves work. I think its because of all the work you put into it. It just makes you appreciate it a little more.Quote:

Yeah I want to try the cannabis thing too.
They are closer related than that even... they are the closest living relatives of each other!
MMMM I think a nice IPA with a balance of hops and cann would be yummy...
i make my own beer. i have been making beer for about 5 years. i have the homebrewkit. with 2 5 gallon glass fermenters. I now only use the mr. beer kit. it is a joke only about 30 $ takes two weeks. it tastes much better to me, but it is not really making beer. I have never made any woth a shit. they all were pale ales, that is all i can make i do not have a kegerator or room in the fridge to get the desired temps. tems are very imporant in beer making. I do not think cannabis beer is possible. Trust me go with the cheap prepackaged kits they taste better. no one even uses fresh hops anymore or grain bags....to much hassle just get the hops pellets.
Well then yeag thanks for bursting my little happy beer bubble you jerk!
=p
hahahah its ok stinky......... one day ill make "Canabeer"(already have a name for it) and ship one to ya on my private plane:Tomcat: .....take care
Don't let yeag discourage you stinky, you can brew awesome beer at home. I used to brew beer with a friend of mine all the time. Then I moved overseas, he moved to a different state and took the equipment. Anyhow, we got pretty good and started entering homebrew competitions, even got a blue ribbon at one. Like anything, what you get out of it depends on what you put into it. Crap (like hop pellets;) ) in, crap out. Also, it really depends on what kind of beer you like. If you like ales, porters, and stouts you'll be happy. If you prefer lagers, like Heineken and all the American shitty beers, you're out of luck since they use a different type of yeast and colder temps.
The two big things I'd think about before making your own beer:
1. Are you clean? Making good beer is like performing surgery, you need pretty much sterile condiditons. Otherwise you'll get bacteria in the beer and it will go sour and taste like shit. If your kitchen looks like a petri dish 5 days into a middle school bio experiment , forget it.
2. Are you patient? It takes at least a month to make really good beer. Well, it takes a few hours to make it but for the best taste you need to let it age a while, like curing buds. Believe me, it's really tough to just let your hard work sit on a shelf for weeks and weeks before having a taste, but it's worth it.
For both of the above reasons, I'd be very wary of any recipe that says you can make it in a coffee pot in 5 days.
